I'm wondering if I should follow your excellent example and make another trip - Paper and Leaf is open for another hour and the online preorder menu has edibles. Some dark chocolate/sea salt minis might be of use.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

that sounds marvelous, amy.
I am trying to write, for once. It's been so long and I miss it, so I'm making myself write instead of doomscroll.
It's been so long I've kind of forgotten how to do transitions...

Oh, suela, that's wonderful news! You will remember, and if you don't, it's still making something.
Ursula Vernon tweeted this yesterday and I felt seen:
Sometimes I write a character that's wiser than I deserve, like the cook in SEVENTH BRIDE cooking biscuits & saying "Yes, everything is terrible and unfair, and yes I could sit down and cry with you for hours, but everything would still be terrible and we would have no biscuits."

I'm so sorry for you and all your family, amyparker.
May I endorse reading The Seventh Bride by Ursula Vernon (under the name T. Kingfisher) which is so very clever and worth your time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Love that book
